From April to December, 1944, Allied aircraft flew over 40 air photo, bombing, and supply missions, or about one mission every four days, from Foggia, Italy, 950 kms. (600 miles) to Poland, flying either directly over, or very close to, the Auschwitz-Birkenau camp. The number of planes in each mission varied from one Mosquito air photo reconnaissance plane to hundreds of heavy bombers.

1. Air Photos:

April 4th to December 21st, 1944: at least once each month, Mosquito light, fast, twin-engined aircraft photographed the Birkenau camp and Monowitz complex from 9,000 metres (30,000 feet) elevation.

2. Bombing:

August 7th:
76 U.S. bombers, and 64 fighter escorts bombed Trzebinia oil refineries, located 13 miles (20 kms) east of Birkenau, August 20th:
127 bombers, and 100 fighters, dropped large 500 pound bombs on Monowitz, 5 kms. (3 miles) east of Birkenau,Sept. 13th:
96 bombers, and fighters, bombed Monowitz, andDec. 18th:
bombers, with fighters, bombed Monowitz for the last time.

Above Photo: Sept. 13th, 1944: Ten of a total of 943 five hundred pound bombs which were dropped by 96 U.S. bombers on the Monowitz complex, fall on their target. The smoke trails visible in the photo are smoke generators placed to obscure vision of the Monowitz buildings. Notice Auschwitz I camp located in the upper left corner of photo.

« Meanwhile, the war against the Soviet Union has allowed us to dispose of new territories for the final solution. Consequently, the Führer has decided to displace the Jews not towards Madagascar but towards the East. Thus, there is no longer any need to consider Madagascar for the final solution. »

This August 14, 1944 letter from John McCloy, the U.S. Assistant War Secretary, says that a study was done about whether it was necessary to bomb Birkenau.Although the study disappeared after 1944, it must have concluded no mass murders were occurring and recommended against bombing because bombing was not ordered by U.S. President Roosevelt, the War Department, or the military.

14 August 1944
Dear Mr. Kuboeitski:

I refer to your letter of August 9, in which you request consideration of a
proposal made by Mr. Ernest Frischer that certain installations and railroad
centers be bombed.

The War Department has been approached by the War Refugee Board, which raised the
question of the practicality of this suggestion. After a study it became apparent
that such an operation could be executed only by the diversion of considerable air
support essential to the success of our forces now engaged in decisive operations
elsewhere, and would, in any case, be of such doubtful efficasy that it would not
warrent the use of our resources. There has been considerable opinion to the affect
that such an effort, even if practicable, might provoke even more vindictive action
by the Germans.

The War Department fully appreciates the humanitarian motives which prompted the
suggested operation, but for the reasons stated above it has been felt that it can
or should not be undertaken, at least at this time.

Sincerely
John J. McCloy (Signed)
JOHN J. McCLOY
Assistant Secretary of War

This August 2, 1944 letter by Chief Air Marshall Norman Bottomley asks that a study be quickly conducted about whether it was necessary to bomb Birkenau.The study disappeared after 1944, but it must have determined no mass murders were occurring at Birkenau and recommended against bombing because bombing was not ordered by Prime Minister Churchill, Bomber Command, or the military.

Copy to: Y. C. A. S.
P.S. to S. of S.

Reference minute 1 at noq. I have discussed this subject with General Spaatz, who is
quite sympathetic.

1. Before we can consider any action, however, it is necessary to know more about
the precise location, extent, and nature of the camps and installations at Birkenau.
It is particularly necessary to have some photographic cover.

2. Will you please have this produced as early as possible, so that the operational
possibilities of taking some effective action from the air can be studied by the
operational Commands and the Deputy Supreme Commander. I need not emphasize the need
for absolute secrecy in this investigation.

Did Missing 1944 Military Studies Conclude Auschwitz-Birkenau Not Death Camp?

From 1944 to 1993 the Holocaust lobby's story was Auschwitz-Birkenau wasn't bombed because the 3,000 to 10,000 daily mass murders were kept secret through a circle of fences one kilometer (0.6 mi) from Birkenau so noone outside the camp knew about the mass executions until an April, 1944 prison escape, and the camp was out of range for bombers until late 1944.

In 1993 Air Photo Evidence published air photos proving the Germans made no attempt to hide the Birkenau Cremation buildings which had no outer fence and only one wire fence close to the buildings so mass executions would have been visible, and Birkenau was not out of range as American planes bombed the Monowitz industrial complex 6 km (4 mi) east starting in August, '44.

The photos sent shockwaves through the Holocaust lobby which hastily organized a 1993 Auschwitz Bombing convention in Washington, DC, to change their story and agree to new reasons why Birkenau was not bombed. The new story was the British and American governments knew about the Birkenau mass executions from early '43 to November, '44, but didn't order that Birkenau or rail-lines leading to the camp be bombed for a number of reasons. The Holocaust Lobby's 4 main reasons are in black text, and the truth according to Air Photo Evidence is in red:

1. Requests for bombing in 1944 by U.S. President Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Churchill were over-ruled by the military who knew about the mass murders, but were indifferent to the plight of the camp inmates.The truth is that in 1944 the American and British military completed independent studies using air photos and spy reports about whether it was neccessary to bomb Birkenau, and although both studies disappeared after 1944, they must have concluded that no mass murders were occurring at Birkenau because bombing was not ordered by Roosevelt, Churchill, or the military.

2. Jewish groups in America, Britain, and Jersualem asked the U.S. and British governments to bomb Birkenau during 1944 but they were rebuffed by military and political leaders. The truth is that although a few individual members of Jewish groups who had heard the mass-murder rumors, sent letters to other members of their groups to consider bombing, not one official Jewish organization anywhere in the world asked that Birkenau be bombed, because they knew from escaped inmates and spies, and from contacts with the highest levels of the U.S. and British governments, that mass murders were not occurring.

3. The War Refugee Board knew about the daily murders but did not have enough political clout to command the attention of President Roosevelt. The truth is that Board member Henry Morgenthau knew of the unsubstantiated stories of Birkenau mass murders, but he acted like he did not believe them because he did not even discuss the possible bombing of Birkenau or any other camp during his many meetings with President Roosevelt.

4. Bombing would have killed inmates and there was no guarantee bombing would have stopped the slaughter.The truth is rail-lines and bridges together with the Birkenau Cremation buildings could have been bombed with a minimum loss of life the same way two other areas were bombed. From June, 1942 to August, 1944, 12 groups of B-25 long-range bombers and P-38 Lightning fighter-bombers , flew long distances from airfields in Egypt to pin-point bomb at low elevations the Ploesti oil refinery 55 kilomters (35 miles) north of Bucharest, Rumania, and on August 24th, '44, the Gustloff-Werke armaments factory 150 m (500 ft) from Buchenwald detention camp in Germany, was destroyed by B-25 bombers without a single bomb hitting the Buchenwald camp.

In 1944 the Americans and British had the ability to pin-point bomb the Birkenau cremation buildings or rail-lines leading to camp, but after military studies of air photos and spy reports concluded that inmates were not being executed, no American or British leader ordered bombing of Birkenau because they believed executions were not occurring.
